I will be writing a text meant as Supplementary
Material, including equations. How do ensure that
the equation numbers are S1, S2, etc?

 
Shouldn’t it work to
 
\setcounter{equation}{0}
\renewcommand{\theequation}{S\arabic{equation}}
 
?

Just of the top of my head, without much testing: It should be possible
to redefine the "Appendix"-string as "Supplement". Everything should
work automatically from there. \renewcommand{\appendixname}{Supplement}
or so
